40 *MORE* maps that explain the world

I am including the link here, to the original thread in Hot Topics, because the original 40 maps are interesting as well.

I'm including this in C E & P because geography, as much as anything - along with history, demographics, and some other factors - even climate - determines politics. If our planet's geography was universally uniform, the Earth's politics would be much different.

Though the concepts of these maps are usually something other than geography, all of the distributions shown are, indeed, geographic by definition.

I think #3 is based on a rather broad definition of "invaded".

"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

I want to know the radius of that circle half the world's people live in.
